What to Do During this SG50 Golden Jubilee Long Weekend~~

Everyone's looking forward to the long weekend in August.  4 off days for many.  :)  And I think many are so looking forward to the National Day Parade and all the activities.  Surprisingly, I do not know of many that are flying out of the country during this period.  Thus, if you are going to be in Singapore during this long weekend, I am sure there will be no lack of places to go and things to do.

United Square

United Square, the only niche mall for kids, will be having activities over the long weekend and all the way till 17 August 2015.  

Plunge into the depths of the blue and set foot in one of the most fascinating and unique worlds as United Square brings you an exclusive 'live' performance on an underwater adventure with The Little Mermaid.  You get to Meet and Greet The Little Mermaid and many others after the performance!
